Joint & Bone Essentials is more powerful than ever with MBP® Milk Peptide and vitamin D. With these key ingredients, Joint & Bone Essentials surpasses many other joint health supplements, as MBP has the ability to promote the body's natural mechanism for supporting optimal bone density and has been shown to promote bone formation, regulate the activity of osteoclasts, and inhibit excessive bone breakdown.

Our bodies continuously break down and build bone. The key is to keep this process in balance, constantly building new bone at the rate you break down existing bone. That's why I made sure my research team added the powerful, clinically studied MBP to Joint & Bone Essentials—because healthy joints start with strong, healthy bones.

Research shows vitamin D is essential for strong bones, muscle strength, and balance

I also added 2,000 IU vitamin D to Joint & Bone Essentials, because it plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density and strength by aiding in the absorption of calcium and reducing the loss of calcium in the urine. You may already be getting calcium from your multinutrient or a standalone supplement, which is great news, especially when combined with the vitamin D in Joint & Bone Essentials. In addition, vitamin D and calcium are critical nutrients for muscle strength and balance.

Plus, Joint & Bone Essentials continues to include these cutting-edge nutrients that made Joint Essentials so effective for so many of my active patients and customers.

NEM® natural eggshell membrane (500 mg): NEM supports healthy joint structures and cartilage and helps soothe joint pain. In a 4-week study, adults took either 500 mg NEM or a placebo while following an exercise routine, rating their pain immediately after and then one day after exercising. The NEM group had a 34% decrease in post-exercise induced joint pain, compared to participants in the placebo group.2

Many joint health supplements that address joint health or joint building promise short-term pain relief or cartilage health. And many of them completely miss out on the bone-building benefits you need for truly strong, healthy joints. But Joint & Bone Essentials does it all! It helps build healthy joints and supports bone structure and strength for comprehensive support.

Science and Quality

Breakthrough MBP® Milk Peptide shown to increase bone formation

MBP is a highly bioactive protein fraction found in trace amounts in cow's milk and has the ability to promote the body's natural mechanism for enhancing healthy bone density. MBP has been shown to increase the number of bone-forming osteoblasts, promote bone formation, regulate the activity of bone-destroying osteoclasts, and inhibit excessive bone resorption (breakdown). Plus it promotes collagen formation, and helps maintain normal bone metabolism (building and breakdown), healthy tissue, and structure.

Because bones are living tissue, they are constantly being broken down and rebuilt in the body; a process called remodeling. In adults, the cycle of remodeling occurs over a period of 3 years. The process is summarized as follows:

Osteoclasts (bone-destroying cells) are carried to the bone through the blood and attach themselves firmly to the bone. They release acid and enzymes that dissolve the bone tissue, releasing calcium into the blood stream. Once this is complete, they disappear.

Next, osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) appear and lay down a collagen core, which is coated with a protein that acts as an adhesive to which calcium adheres, forming new bone tissue.

While osteoclasts are just as important as osteoblasts in the process of bone remodeling, when the activity of osteoclasts is in excess, more calcium than necessary is dissolved from the bones. This can lead to bone loss.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers found that 40 mg of MBP (the amount in Joint & Bone Essentials) given to menopausal women daily for 6 months increased bone mineral density (BMD) significantly over placebo. The results show that those taking MBP experienced a 1.21% increase in BMD, while those on placebo saw their BMD levels decrease .66%. This study also found that urinary levels of a marker associated with bone breakdown (called cross-linked N-telopeptides) were reduced, demonstrating that MBP helped reduce bone resorption (the natural cycle of bone breakdown).
